Google has found its way into the latest updated version of the Merriam-Webster dictionary as of Thursday. Along with it, the dictionary will include from now on such new technical terms as: agritourism, biodiesel, mouse potato, ringtone and spyware, depicting current realities of everyday modern life. This marks an evolution of the language to adapt to the ever chancing environment and to the words spawned in the process.

"A noun turns into a verb very often. Google is a unique case. Because they have achieved so much prominence in the world of search, people have been using the word google as a generic verb now. Our main aim is to respond to the use of the language that we see. We consider ourselves very respectful of trademark. That (google as a lowercase verb) is really a lexicographical judgment based on the evidence that was analyzed," stated Thomas Pitoniak, the associate editor and composition manager for Merriam-Webster.

To google is a transitive verb and is equivalent to: "to use the Google search engine to obtain information about (as a person) on the World Wide Web."

"The Internet has been an amazingly useful resource for us and in our work. However, when we look to the Internet, including journalistic sources, there is a whole set of challenges involved. Part of the problem is that you don't know if it's an intentional variation, or someone does not know how to use the word correctly," said Pitoniak.
